Here Are Two More Mario Kart 8 Courses to Enjoy

Earlier this month we shared five Mario Kart 8 courses shared by Nintendo in the form of rather presentable screenshots. We'd hoped it would be the start of a gradual reveal of many more of the upcoming tracks, yet our waiting has been rewarded with just two additional courses; the reveals stopped on 7th March. Rather than wait for more — which could go on for weeks — below are the two tracks posted since that last article, perfect for some relaxing Sunday dreaming of what's to come in the much anticipated Mario Kart 8.

These two courses don't account for all of the tracks we've seen, of course. The various trailers — including the most recent at the end of this article — have given glimpses of some extras, while re-worked classics have certainly been spotted. Nevertheless, the two additional reveals via the Wii U UK Facebook page give us a nice view and names for these two tracks.

You can see them below, taking the Facebook reveals to seven in total — we're assuming there'll be 16 new tracks, as has been the norm in recent generations. Those with eagle eyes can possibly account for double figures in terms of brief glimpses of new tracks, though not all have been shown.

In any case, below are Cloudtop Cruise and Bone Dry Dunes, with the latter pointedly leading to a drying up of fresh looks for the past week or so.

Let us know what you think of these two courses in the comments below, while once again we can all enjoy the latest gameplay trailer.

Welsh ex-pat Tom is responsible for the day-to-day running of the site. He's the guy to thank for the generally brilliant nature of the content which massages your eyeballs on a daily basis. Also has an unhealthy obsession with all things Bowser.

Is it just me? Or does this game make you want even harder for Wii U F-Zero????

Recently revived my Gamecube and man that was an awesome machine, and F-Zero GX is quite possibly THE best racing game ever made. It NEEDS a sequel and bringing to the thirsty Wii U audience like you wouldn't believe.

@Spuratis We did in the second trailer. It was the last scene that revealed Rosalina. And also, if you listen to the music at the end, it's a mashup of Sky Station Galaxy and (of course) Gusty Garden Galaxy.

Just like with the new Smash Bros., I love to see good looking new things like this, but I try to avoid looking at all the new things the show, because I feel like there will be a little less surprise when I finally play them.

Already these courses look a lot better than the 'original' courses on the Wii version. Still, as Cervantes said the proof of the pudding is in the eating. So hurry up Nintendo and feed us some Mario Kart 8

"below are the two tracks posted since that last article, perfect for some relaxing Sunday dreaming of what's to come in the much anticipated Mario Kart 8.". Lol, I was doing just that last Sunday in bed while looking at my MK8 poster!
